Do you think Ealy has enough speed 4.92 40 and a 1.66 10 yard? 10 yard looks good. Maybe as he did with Sam he can replicate his pass ruch with Jones.

I like Kareem Martin, great length, 4.72 40, 1.53 10 yard, good bend around the corner. Ealy I think wins for effort for sure, that is my doubt with Hageman and Martin: consistant effort.

The 1.66 is actually the same as Chandler Jones, though Ealy had a 6.83 3C, compared to Chandler's 7.07... Chandler won the sprint though witha 4.77 vs. 4.92. Both had 22 reps * 225... Chandler's arms were a bit longer 35.5 vs. 34.25.

Overall, I'm amazed at how similar they are and I have no worries about Ealy's speed on the field, very good burst off the snap/snap antipation, gets up field in a hurry, moves well laterally and gives a huge effort as you mentioned.

I jumped on the Pryor wagon after watching tape on him, the thing that stands out the most about him besides the fact that he hits like a freight train, is how easily he flips his hips when turning to run and cover! However I doubt he'll be available so I'll stick with my best guess and go with Hageman, but Pryor would be my first pick. Others I'd like to see the Patriots take if both of the previously mentioned guys are gone include Benjamin, Tuitt, Nix III, Gilbert and a cast of 10 more guys...

Looks like Tuitt had a makeshift pro day at his highschool and ran a 4.8 (based on his tweet). I've read that he wasn't cleared to run at the combine, but did it at this pro day at his own risk. That's pretty good for 6-5 303.

On paper, Northwestern WR/QB Kain Colter (5-10 198) looks like a kid that BB/NC would have pleny of interest in on Day 3.

Versatile? Check

Quick twitch/sudden? Check

Intelligent? Check

Tough? Check

Competitive? Check

Leadership/intagibles? Check

He's a QB convert, with big (10 inch), soft hands, that's still a little raw as a WR, but has the skill set and mental make up that they like in their slot players. It also seems that they might even enjoy projects like this and aren't shy about taking QB converts and/or WR's from NW. Solid under the radar option, IMO.

Really like Oregon State CB Rashaad Reynolds (5-10 189). He shows very quick feet, quick hips, is aggressive and scheme diverse and plays with a definite edge. He's smaller than ideal, but plays bigger than his size (solid run defender) and he did do 20 reps at 225, so he puts the work in. He had popped to me a bit during Combine drills, so I took time to check him out this morning... could be solid mid round value... underrated kid.

Where do you see Trent Murphy drawing interest as a 34OLB or 43DE? He was heavier than the 250lbs at the combine, not bad 10 yr at 1.63. He does play in space but is not as quick as other OLBs. Long arms huge hand, I almost want him to be larger, he reminds me a bit of Nink.

I think he's scheme diverse and can fit in either front.... had some good triangle #'s at the combine ( 6.78 3C / 4.20 SS) and has enormous hands (11/18)... tough, blue collar kid that I like somewhere in Rd 2. He was 6-5 250 at the combine and couple prob add another 5-10 pounds if needed.

Which one if you had the choice ....given we may only get a shot at one.

Think we have a problem if we have to choose between Harmon and Tavon Wilson at safety?

In order of want... Nix, Pryor, Tuitt, Cooks.

Expanded list: Nix, Pryor, Ealy, Tuitt, Donald, Hageman, Cooks.

I cannot imagine any of those big DLs will be available. Here's a list of teams who would have to be considering a DT or big DE in the first:

NYG: DL has not been as good as they're used to. Probably looking to get someone inside. They prefer explosive types who can penetrate. I am guessing Donald would be a good fit.

CHI: Run D ranks 32. I never imagined a CHI D could be that bad on run D. IMO the best run-stuffing DT is Jernigan.

PIT: They certainly could move to improve their run O. However they rank 22 on run D. Not PPIT-like. They also have an undersized 35 yr old playing at 34 RDE. I would not be surprised if they take Tuitt. Hageman would also be a good pick here.

DAL: Perhaps the worst D in the NFL (pass D ranks 32; run D 27). If they are smart they start fixing the D by bringing in the foundation of their D. Interior DL is really the best move for them. It does not matter if they play 34 or 43, Nix is the smartest (no such thing as a sure thing) move.

ARI: D is not bad considering they converted to 34 recently. However, the guy playing RDE is turning 33 in May. It's the perfect time to bring in a high upside prospect to learn behind Dockett. Hageman makes so much sense.

GBP: The D may not be the worst, but pretty close. Pickett, who plays as their main NT, is 34 yrs old . If PIT does not pick Nix, it's hard to imagine he would get away from GBP.

I think Ealy and Cooks will be available. I think Ealy is overrated. I do not believe he is a first rounder. Cooks is a first rounder, but I would rather they use their first round pick on a position other than WR.

You will love this, but I think Pryor will be available at 29. The team who I can see picking up a S is PHI. I believe they will choose teh bigger option in Clinton-Dix. I am mixed on whether Pryor would be a good use of the first round.

I think the positions that have kept them from getting over the hump and will keep them vulnerable are CB (so dependent on Talib being there), TE (so bad in the RZ when gronk is out) and DT (who knows if VW and/or Kelly will be back). With those positions intact, they have been good even with the S crew they carry.

I actually would not mind that they reach a bit for Niklas if not able to trade out of 29. That puts them in position to maneuver to get D Jones in the second. What these two picks mean is that you make the Os effectivness in teh RZ less dependent on whether Gronk is playing or not. You also make the interior DLs effectiveness less dependent on whether or not VW and/or Kelly comes back.

Just started looking again at some of my favorites - as well as some that posters have recommended.

As it stands now, without knowing anything about free agency, I would go:

1) Kony Ealy

2) CJ Federowitz

3) D. McCullers/Telvin Smith - (hey MB, will he last this long? Make him a hybrid safety)

If we could pick up a couple of OL late to help, I would be happy.

I have Smith as a Rd 2 kid, but I don't think Rd 3 is completely out of the question. I think he's a steal there... he's undersized at only 218, but should at the very least be appealing to teams looking for a fast, athletic Will backer... but I think he has hybrid defender ability, yeah.

Agree that there's never a certainty on the DT's/DL, but one of two of those guys could certainly fall.

This is what I love about "scouting", two people can review a player and come away with a completely different opinion/perception of a player. I personally love Ealy on tape... very good burst/snap anticipation, instinctive with good lateral agility, making a good amount of plays down the LOS or down the field in pursuit, uses his hands/length well, very disruptive off the edge and is frequently seen behind the LOS... high effort, aggressive player. Really like him.

Pryor would be awesome... how about the below Rd 1 alternatives, who would interest you most?

Bradley Roby

Kyle Fuller

Ryan Shazier

I like them all, but if those guys were the best available I would seriously try to trade back to 40 or so.
